Doesn't this completely go against the trias politica principle? The police effectively playing judge and determining the penalty, without due process and even worse, for their own benefit?
Frankly I'm at a loss for words here. It's wrong on every imaginable level. The most worrying to me is, that there seem to be so many people who do NOT see anything wrong with it.
Do so many people miss a basic grasp of right and wrong, of the building blocks of our society? And what are they doing in the police force?
- ObviousScience 12y agoI'm very disturbed by the callousness with which he brags about violating the constitution to get extra-legal justice. I'm also confused why people always (largely rhetorically) wonder why Americans don't trust officials and are withdrawing from the political process when there are ample examples of officials bragging about their illegal activities without any consequence.
- PythonicAlpha 12y agoI agree, that right and wrong are the building blocks of society -- of all societies. But you can also see in history and in other nations, what the result is, when those building blocks are missing or when they are repeatedly violated. That is something that makes me fear for the US. When they train those people, that shall uphold right and wrong to be wrongdoers, when legislation fails, because there are to many interest groups, when even judges are judging for money .... the way downhill will be steep! Already today, as others also posted, the trust into officials is rapidly going downhill in society. Broader and broader parts of society disband legal living, because legality is also often only an excuse for wrong doing. The officials give the example and the complete nation goes downhill step for step.
